Mineralization is the process by which minerals accumulate within a geological formation, typically through the deposition of minerals such as gold, silver, copper, or other valuable resources. This process can occur through a variety of geological processes, including hydrothermal activity, sedimentary deposition, or magmatic intrusion. Mineralization is of interest to geologists and mining companies as it can indicate the presence of economically viable mineral deposits and potential mining opportunities. Understanding the processes that lead to mineralization is important for identifying and extracting valuable resources from the Earth's crust.
